• Main Unit: High-quality copper core motor providing 2300W power.
• Die Heads: Includes 6 dies (1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2") made of carbon steel/high-speed steel for high temperature and abrasion resistance.
• Pipe Clamp: Essential for securely holding the pipe during threading.
• Oil Tank: For lubricating the dies and pipe during operation.
• Aluminum Machine Head: Sturdy and durable for long service life.

Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for proper setup of the pipe threader:

1. Pipe Preparation: Ensure the pipe is smooth, free of burrs, and without deformation. The pipe wall thickness should be above 2.5mm.
2. Select Die Head: Choose the corresponding die head for your pipe size.
3. Install Die Head: Pull out the circlip and install the selected die head onto the host machine from the right side.
4. Clamp the Pipe: Securely clamp the pipe using the pipe clamp. The fixture cylinder should be approximately 1cm below the tube. Fix the pipe clamp tightly, about one and a half turns.

Detailed steps for operation:

1. Power On: Press the power start switch first, then press the lock power switch.
2. Start Threading: Turn the positive and negative switch to the down arrow position to start the switch and auxiliary contacts. Pay attention to the gesture: the right hand needs to push the threading head a bit, and the left hand needs to hold the tube tightly.
3. Lubrication: Lubricating oil or machine oil must be used during the threading process, especially for hard pipes like galvanized or iron pipes. Plastic pipes do not require oiling.
4. Reverse Switch: After threading is finished, reverse the switch to the up arrow position for back threading to exit the pipe.
5. Safety Note: The pipe holder should not be in contact with the host when moving to the right, otherwise the host may be damaged.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pipe threader.

• Die Cleaning: Always clean the residual slag in the die head before the next threading operation to prevent buildup and ensure clean threads.
• Lubrication: Regularly check and refill the oil tank with appropriate lubricating or machine oil.
• Storage: Store the tool and its components in the provided carrying case in a dry, clean environment when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Consfly Portable Electric Pipe Threader, consider the following general troubleshooting tips:

• Tool Not Starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the power switch is in the correct position. Check for any tripped circuit breakers.
• Poor Thread Quality: Verify that the correct die size is installed and that the pipe is securely clamped. Ensure sufficient lubrication is applied during threading. Clean the die head if there is any residual slag.
• Overheating: Allow the tool to cool down if it becomes excessively hot. Ensure proper ventilation around the motor. Avoid continuous heavy-duty use without breaks.
• Unusual Noises: Discontinue use immediately if you hear unusual noises. Check for any loose parts or obstructions.
